I was Raised by a Greedy Child

My mother lusted after a Kitchen Aid dishwasher featured in the Christmas Glamour Magazine photo shoot that took place at our house one July in 1972. At Christmas she asked us to fulfill her dreams and purchase lavish gifts to make her happy: suede knee high boots, Afghan poncho, jewelry, and a pressure cooker. There was no way we could. I was raised by a greedy child.
